Have you tried a2ps? Its not enscript but seems to do everything
enscript can...
% a2ps --pre=idl --pro=color foo.pro
Also, I have a half-done IDL definition for enscript based upon
modification of the enscript FORTRAN definition. Let me know if you
would like a copy...
-k.

Upgrading to 21.2.1 seems to have solved (almost) all of my printing
problems. I *think* idlde is slowly being removed from my brain...
Thanks!

The default color is gray95. To make it an 80% gray, instead of
95%, try (setq ps-zebra-color "grey80") in your .emacs. If you
use the customization system (which differs a bit, depending on
what emacs you are using - I'm using 21.2.1), you can set that
interactively. If you run customize-apropos-group (also
available in emacs 21.2 by mousing around to the
Options->Customize Emacs->Groups Matching Regexp... menu), you'll
find the zebra customization group.
I cannot reproduce your 3-line-zebra-strips-disappearing problem.
Do you know about prefix arguments [1]? If you run ps-print-
buffer-with-faces with a prefix argument, you'll be able to save
the result to a file. To do that, use "C-u M-x
ps-print-buffer-with-faces" instead of plain old "M-x
ps-print-buffer-with-faces". That might help speed up your
debugging and kill fewer trees.

Now we're getting somewhere... What follows is -definitely- emacs related
and I'll be happy to take it "off-list" if someone's willing to help. I'm
an emacs newbie (other than as a simple text editor user) and the last
time I did any lisp programming was probably 25 years ago.
How do I make the zebra stripes darker?
Why, when I set zebra-stripe-height to 1 do they appear, but when I set
them to 3 they vanish (or maybe not, my eyes are old enough that they may
actually be there - see question 1 above).
How do I tell it to NOT write the 'end' after the last line number (not
the end in my pro file but the end in the line number column)?
What do I type to execute the ps-setup function that shows what the
current setup is? I tried M-x ps-setup but it simply says [no match]
I've read the ps-print.el file and I think I can make some of the code
changes (I think I know what I need to do to make the zebra stripes
darker) but do I need to then somehow compile the new .el file?
Thanks!
Bruce

I'm not as familiar with this but, you could try these variables.....
The variable `ps-landscape-mode' specifies the orientation of
printing on the page. The default is `nil', which stands for
"portrait" mode. Any non-`nil' value specifies "landscape" mode.
The variable `ps-number-of-columns' specifies the number of columns;
it takes effect in both landscape and portrait mode. The default is 1.
Would that work for you?

Try:
(setq ps-landscape-mode t
ps-spool-duplex t
ps-line-number t
ps-zebra-stripes t
ps-zebra-stripe-height 1)
in your .emacs. You can read about these variables in the Emacs
"Postscript Variables" info node, or the beginning of the ps-print.el lisp
file. You can even put background images behind your text, change the
headers, etc.
One caveat: the little printer button is bound to `print-buffer' which
comes from a separate piece of printing code (one of the joys and
frustrations of Emacs is the variety of packages available which do very
similar things). Either just "M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces", or, for
bonus points, figure out how to change what the print-button calls.

Try setting something like this in your emacs initialization
file:
(setq ps-n-up-printing 2)
(setq ps-line-number t)
(setq ps-line-number-step 5)
You can use emacs' customization system to set these as well,
plus lots and lots more...

(danger will robinson - what follows is probably really an emacs
question - in case you can't tell, I'm used to using emacs as an editor, not a
development environment)
OK, I've downloaded idlwave and it seems OK so far. I opened one of my pro
files and it nicely color coded everything and when I printed it it color
coded stuff properly. Now, how do I get it to number the lines and print
"2-up" when I hit the print button?

There's also a tool to convert Emacs buffers to HTML, with all background
and faces, etc. -- htmlize:
http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/htmlize.el
XEmacs bundles it, I believe. Keep in mind that in IDLWAVE, keywords on
continuation lines are correctly highlighted only on global font-lock
passes (like when you first load the buffer, of if you explicitly
font-lock-fontify-buffer).

That's almost what I said, but I didn't want to imply that the only
integrated development tool for IDL on *nix is emacs.
But I use 'M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces' And it's only pretty if you use
idlwave mode: <a href="http://www.idlwave.org">www.idlwave.org</a>
